Join the Department of Business and Economics and the American Enterprise Institute this Wednesday, March 13, to screen a new documentary, The Pursuit, at 7 p.m. in Hoover 105. Cookies and beverages will be provided.

Professional-musician-turned-intrepid-economist Arthur Brooks travels around the globe in search of an answer to the question: How can we lift up the world, starting with those at the margins of society?

Arthur’s journey takes him through the chaotic streets of Mumbai, a town in Kentucky left behind by the global economy, a homeless shelter in New York, a street protest in Barcelona, and a Himalayan Buddhist monastery. Along the way, he discovers the secrets not only to material progress for the least fortunate but also true and lasting happiness for all.

The Office for Spiritual Life would like to express apologies for any inconvenience caused to the employee community for the cancellation of the 10 a.m. Ash Wednesday service on March 6. 

Due to illness, we were unexpectedly short-staffed, and with three scheduled services we made a day-of decision to cancel our 10 a.m. service. Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that communication may not have reached all attendees prior to the service. We apologize for the miscommunication. 

We wish you a meaningful Lenten season, and invite you to join us for Holy Week services on Tuesday, April 16, at 10:50 a.m. in Bauman Auditorium, on Wednesday, April 17, at 7 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium, and on Thursday, April 18, during the lunch hour (details to follow).
